Discrete Methods in Population Genomics (Chapman & Hall/CRC Mathematical Biology Series)

The extent and accessibility of modern sequencing technologies have transformed population genetics to population genomics. Focusing on this new area, this book explores the combination of combinatorial and statistical methods to produce novel algorithms to solve problems, bringing accuracy and efficiency simultaneously into the solution. Each chapter includes an explanation of the problem, the mathematical formulation, discussion of the theory, a list of exercises, references to further reading, and notes.
